Poppy Beautiful Gold I'm hosting large pizza party. Looking for appetizer and dessert ideas. No dessert pizza please. See details
There'll be about 57 people. A local pizzeria makes gigantic party size pizza's and we have used them in the past for getherings. This will be for my sons wedding rehearsal party (their suggestion) and at my home, indoors and out. I have a large home with about an acre of land so people won't feel cramped. Any ideas how to make it really special? I thought I'd try to do a Tuscan Theme using beautiful Tuscan golds, poppy reds, olive greens, terra cotta and eggplant colors. Pillar candles for the tables.
Any better or additional ideas?????
ANOTHER QUESTION: Do you think chili pepper lights of the same colors, red, yellow, purple and green would look good hung outside. Should they be just one color probably red, or do you think the idea sounds tacky?
Being you're doing a Tuscan theme, and pizza, you can do an Antipasti, which is what Italians and Sicilians do before the meal. It is a platter of Italian meats, cheeses, olives, etc. You can get the ingredients and make it yourself or go to any deli and have them do it. There's NO cooking, it's just arranging them on a platter.
What's on the platter is usually:
Salami
Prevalone
Supresatta
Olives both black and green
lettuce
Tomatos
Proscuitto
Mozzerella cheese if you wish
other Italian cheese if you wish
Mortedella
Then there's a basket of bread and breadsticks. You also serve oil and vinegar on the side with this. People take what they want and put it on a plate and eat it.
You can also put anchovies, artichoke hearts, roasted peppers, etc. there is SO much that can go into a real antipast, you go to the deli and talk to them. You'd need a number of platters for that many people.
For dessert, again, going with your theme, you can do Italian pastries like cannolis and such and Italian cookies. You can also do Tiramisu, etc. The tiramisu is trickier because not everyone likes coffee desserts. You're safer with the pastries and the cookies.
The only reason why I'm suggesting all the Italian foods is because of the theme you have chosen. I LOVE the theme and the colors you have chosen with it. You can even put up some clear, stringed, Christmas lights all around the party area and around the bushes and trees, they'll look like twinkling lights all around and add such a nice ambiance to the party area.
Congratulations to your son and future Daughter-in-law! I hope you have a great party and wonderful time at the wedding, Congratulations to you and your husband too!
